Stop being so self-conscious (read all 3 entries…)

Why do I do this? 4 years ago

Drives me crazy sometimes. I’d be fussing about how I look, if I spoke clearly, whether I wore too much makeup. Why the hell am I driving myself nuts? Is this even worth the psycho-analysis?

I have this theory (I won’t apologize for being such a smartass) that it’s coz I have nothing better, more urgent or important to do. Which is not exactly true, just that I’ve gotten better at justifying the excuses to procrastinate a bit more.

There I go again, being my own worst critic.

Think this should spin off another goal, be more kind and mindful to self. Yeah, that might help.

Mrs. Bryce is relaxing with her hubby.

Hmmmm

Does this happen on a daily basis? I tend to do some of the same things, but I label it “rumination” over things in the past. Do you find yourself rushing to make decisions? If so, then maybe the problem is that you make a rash decision and then ponder whether you made the correct choice?

Not really on a daily basis. Some days I couldn’t care less. But I suspect I’m yearning for some form of approval or recognition. Always wondering if I am doing good or if I measure up.

The thing is there’s this paradox in my life. On the out side, folks see me as this “strong, self-assured” gal. And they assume I know this too. I do, but I wished I’d get more “validation”. Is that messed up?

Maybe it’s a mood thing. I dunno. Some days I feel good about myself, and I can say “Enough!” and mean it. I don’t second-guess myself and my sense of conviction is bulletproof. I love those days, feel like I can do anything, go anywhere and be anyone I want to be.

Gosh.. sometimes I think us girls are at a disadvantage. When even our hormones can betray us and put us in such a fix.

Sigh..
